Police executed two search warrants in Greymouth and South Westland early this morning in relation to an ongoing nationwide operation to target organised crime, drug dealing and illegal possession of firearms.
The search warrants were executed with the assistance of the Armed Offenders Squad and involved staff from across the West Coast area and the wider Tasman district.
A 35-year-old man was taken into custody and will be appearing in the Greymouth District Court tomorrow on charges of possession of methamphetamine for supply, unlawful possession of a firearm, unlawful possession of ammunition, and possession of a class B drug.
Police located:
- Two firearms and ammunition
- Methamphetamine along with evidence for its supply, and utensils for its use
$1850 in cash - MDMA, a class B controlled drug.
“This latest raid follows a weeklong transnational targeted crackdown known as Operation Black Onyx on illicit firearms which resulted in 43 arrests and 96 firearms being seized”, said Senior Sergeant Brent Cook.
“Officers working on the search warrants are not ruling out further arrests or charges.

“Police will continue to actively target organised criminal behaviour on the West Coast and ask the public for assistance in locating these offenders.
“If you know of illegal firearms, drugs, or any unlawful behaviour, call Police. Call 111 if it is an emergency, or 105 after the fact.”
You can always report information anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
Wow what a huge score!! Must have had a whole team of detectives working on the case. Don’t hold out much hope for the Creedence though……..
Bet they all had hard ones on this bust. Where do they get their code names from ffs ? Black Onyx, really edgy that one boys 😂
A lot of low life has drifted into Greymouth – West Coast
And into Cobden across the river
The Crown bought the whole of the West Coast for 300 pounds
At a reduced price for which they would hold reserves
One of which the town of Greymouth sits
Much to their misfortune
Look at all of those ‘illegal’ firearms in the picture that properly-vetted current and past Firearms Licence Holders can no longer have!
IF GUNS WERE OUTLAWED, ONLY OUTLAWS WOULD HAVE GUNS!!
Maybe the Onyx Boys & Girls have known about the firearms for a while but just ckose to ignore the same in the past, but now-
The government is desperate for money (as noted by the surrepticious ACC cuts…and SNAP cuts in the U.S., Food Assistance in the U.K., etc.) and is moving in on the firearms, ammo, cash, and ‘assets’ before the end of the year, and well before the (s)election in 2026.
Bank accounts are being raided by the IRD, ACC cut-off, and applications for sickness benefits denied.

And then comes the final act of participation in illegal WARS and the Apocalyptic death of the human race via WOMD.
“So, good luck to all of those who supported the globalist mission of the Rockefellers, Rothschilds, and Banksters…! You know what you got for your service to those Satanic Minions? You got thrown under the bus just like the rest of us. You got nothing!” – Jay Parker, SRA survivor.
